Our Story

Old Sun Knits began in the backcountry of the mountains of Northwestern Montana. Inspired by the beauty of the area, as well as the weather, Old Sun Knits has evolved from a girl by a campfire with a pair of knitting needles to a full fledged knit shop, specializing quality yarns. Old Sun Knits strives to source high-quality yarn.
